Chapter 21: The 72 Legends, Supreme Rare Species
Inside the cave, Hei Lan’s team members found themselves in a strange standoff with the main force of Youlan Academy’s first team. However, Ye Zhuzhi and Chi Yan, the two highly ranked Supernovas, were engrossed in their own argument, completely ignoring the others.
Seeing the two bickering women, Tao Wan nervously swallowed. Although she was ranked 7th among the Supernovas, the top 5 were a significant dividing line. Those students all possessed High-Tier main battle pet beasts! If a conflict broke out here, all five members of their team, including Captain Hei Lan, would likely be defeated by the two High-Tier pet beasts. For most students, fighting above their level was an insurmountable challenge…
“Chi Yan, are you paranoid? Isn’t the Dean your mother? Can you please not make your own mother sound so despicable? She’s not after your little secret, okay!!!”
“Heh, so what if she’s my mother? One of the 72 Legends in the Rare Compendium, didn’t you see the look in the Captain’s eyes when she saw that thing? I felt like she wanted to silence us all right there…”
“Just a single Legendary Rare Species…the Captain didn’t have that kind of look in her eyes, you paranoid patient, wait…why did you just blurt that out!!!!” Ye Zhuzhi, dressed in her cheongsam, suddenly stopped mid-argument, gasping and staring incredulously at the calm Chi Yan.
Then, she turned to look at Hei Lan and the others, a look of exasperation on her face. As expected, the moment Hei Lan heard the words “Rare Compendium,” her expression changed drastically.
Just a Legendary Rare Species…?
No, it wasn’t just “a” Legendary Rare Species. It was said that some people had wiped out entire regions from existence just to obtain one.
The 72 Legends referred to the Supreme Rare Species that started their evolution halfway through the usual path! They had no juvenile form, their species were fixed, they couldn’t regress, and some were born High-Tier, some Commander-Tier, or even Royal-Tier!!!
Compared to the rarity of the 72 Legends, the Void Spirit, Phoenix Melody, and Jade Extremity trio that Youlan Academy used to entice students were like dust compared to the stars and moon. There was no comparison!
However, unlike ordinary wild pet beasts, the 72 Legends were almost impossible to capture, and their evolution requirements were incredibly difficult.
“…”
“…”
“Is there…a Legendary Rare Species in there!?” Hei Lan pointed at the depths of the cave in disbelief, echoing Ye Zhuzhi and Chi Yan’s argument.
At this moment, captivated by the allure of a Legendary Rare Species, she even had the wicked thought of eliminating the entire first team. That way, she could take revenge on Aurora, one of the Ten Greats from White Maple Academy, in this league…
Meanwhile, seeing the strange glint in Hei Lan’s eyes, Ye Zhuzhi sensed danger. Chi Yan, who had leaked the secret, simply stared blankly into the distance, feigning ignorance.
“Whoosh——!!!”
In the next second, a green orb rolled out from under Ye Zhuzhi’s cheongsam, exploding upon landing and transforming into a cloud of green light that filled the air.
High-Tier · Viral Species · Plague Heart!!
“Hei Lan, I advise you not to do anything foolish. The Captain is still inside. Do you really want to silence us all?”
“Besides, Chi Yan is the Dean’s daughter. Do you really want to attack her…?”
Facing the tense Ye Zhuzhi, Hei Lan took a deep breath, her mind clearing, suppressing her wicked thoughts.
That was close. I almost lost control…
She desperately wanted revenge against Aurora from White Maple Academy, so much so that she had become momentarily obsessed at the glimpse of hope. Now that she thought about it, even if she obtained the Legendary Rare Species, she wouldn’t be able to control it with her current abilities and knowledge…
And if they fought here, and the news of the Legendary Rare Species leaked, even Youlan Academy wouldn’t be able to control the situation.
“I understand…”
“We’ll return the way we came and won’t reveal this information. Don’t worry.” After a moment of silence, Hei Lan said, slightly unwillingly.
Then, they began to retreat cautiously, wary of turning their backs on the two High-Tier pet beasts. Only Yin Huomei, like a fool, kept asking, “What’s the Rare Compendium?”
“What are the 72 Legends?”
“Are they rarer than the Void Spirit?”
“Say something!!!”
“What’s the Rare Compendium?”
Their footsteps, accompanied by Yin Huomei’s incessant questions, gradually faded. Ye Zhuzhi and Chi Yan didn’t pursue them. After all, they were just young Beast Taming students, lacking experience in real combat. They couldn’t bring themselves to kill yet.
Too bad, if it were Lian Xing, she would have killed them all…
Meanwhile, as she watched Hei Lan, Tao Wan, and the others retreat, Chi Yan lowered her head in disappointment. It was as if she had secretly hoped for a bloody battle, a chance to escalate the situation.
“No, I can’t let the Captain get that thing so easily. If there’s a chance, it should be…mine…!!!!”
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the cave…
As the commotion outside subsided, a woman with long black hair, dressed in tight black leather, turned around and muttered nervously, “They didn’t fight?”
“Strange, that power earlier…it wasn’t from a Mid-Tier pet beast. I thought Ye Zhuzhi and Chi Yan wouldn’t be able to stop them…”
“But now the threat is gone. I can continue waiting here…”
The black-haired woman looked greedily and nervously at the white pet egg emitting a golden glow.
If she could successfully contract this thing, forget the Academy League, even becoming the ruler of a region wouldn’t be a dream!!
Beside the woman in black leather, a girl dressed in revealing clothes and wearing a VR headset was tapping the air with her fingers. As lines of green, high-tech code scrolled across the cave wall, the data and information of the golden egg were revealed.
[Mid-Tier — Mechanical Species — Miniature Skynet]
[Analysis results…]
[High-Tier — Elemental Species — Star Sand (Incubating)]
[Contract conditions: Analyzing, remaining time: 17 hours]
